Ever notice how almost all “science” articles include the word “may” in them?

Total BS. Everyone knows that BUSH personally went back in time and killed the dinosaurs. He did it so they would decay into oil.

Sorry. Don’t buy it.
The evidence for the asteroid theory is too overwhelming.

But you can be sure that next week some scientist who is trying to make a name for himself may say “The Dinosaurs died from Herpes”!

Insects. Okay. Very big insects. But, should we expect to find some of these insects or would chitin not survive the millions of years?

Since the dinosaurs all died out regardless of size and the very large reptiles didn’t they really have to come up with another explanation than climate change. As far as ticks go why would the dinosaurs be affected and not their close cousins the birds?

Better get back to the lab, dude.

My money is on the Dileks.
